Author Topic: Lowering Max Field Fuel Damage (Read 345 times)

How about dropping the max fuel can be porked to a compromise of 50%? 75% seems a bit excessive doesn't it?

I agree. I also think fuel comsumption should be included in GV's. Engine must be running to turn turret. Run out of fuel U can't turn turret. U have engine off during spawn camping, U can't turn turret etc...

U can still fire with engine off but will not be able to turn turret. This might help stop the spawn camping.

I'm sorry, I don't agree with this one. Its already easy enough for one set of bombers to shut down a base by killing the fighter hangers.... let alone one augering dweeb in a p38 who releases his ord at 500+ mph in a straight down vertical dive only to have it beat him to the ground killing all the fuel and then he goes crashing into the rubble. With a burn multiplier at 2... this would hamstring defense efforts and make it all to easy to ruin a good fight. Also, it only would take about a half an hour to pork all the fuel on the front lines and kill all offense.

Yeah we should probably remove fuel as a strat item altogether, and while we are at drop the ordnance and troops too. Why have any strats at all? They just just get in they way of the REAL game. In fact nothing on the ground should ever blow up, it just gets in the way of a good fight.

In real life, engines were off a lot, and turrets were turned by hand or by battery power or battery powered hydraulics. German gunners were said to prefer manual turret movement, due to the greater precision of the hand crank vs. the hydraulic system.

Sorta unrealistic. Basic armor tactics dictate engine shutdown in the defense. Engine sounds give you away. However to be fair, you do have to fire the vehicle up periodically to recharge the batteries.

Exactly -

Fuel Pork - Been there hated that! It's bad enough the hangers are all lumped in one area, as if it's not easy enough to stop people from upping now.

Now your waking up!

I like this idea if the fuel multiplier is lowered.

Make the fuel targets harder. Basically would take at least 250lb bomb or even 500 lbs. Same with barracks. I know with a tiffie I can take out a whole small field including ack, fuel, troops and ammo bunkers without ords, all cannon power. I believe the strats are to easy to take down but I still think 50% fuel should be the min, not 75%. All strats should take at least 1 hit from 250 lb and still stand.

I didn't know turrets were either manuel or battery power. In that case still implement fuel consumption. Reason is if u get hit and have a fuel leak. Better get home and stop camping or u won't land those 25+ kills,lol. The damage model on tanks can greatly be improved like the planes. Have fuel, oil, suspension, parts or armour damaged, transmission etc... I hate these 1 shot 1 kills we get in tanks. I have gotten 1 hit kills on me when I a tiger fighting another tiger 3k away.
